It's a quirk, an error parsing the expression, which I can't explain. EDITOR much
prefers if you use the red cr/lf wildcard instead of real cr/lf characters, when constructing
these commands (that's another successful workaround for the problem you experienced). In the
same vein, I've noticed that {{5cr210}} can be unsuccessful _if_ you are not in eXPanded
text mode. I've modified these programs accordingly in the current XYWWWEB.U2 version 2 (are
you using XYWWWEB.U2, BTW? it's a much easier way to access all these programs). In the
meantime, I suggest that you insert, before the existing func BX, a func XP in {{5cr210}}.

Thanks for the feedback.
